10 man merc corps. Expects never to have fight out numbered.

Who are you going to aggressivley wardec, ever?

Our alliance normally has 30 people to every 1 of ours dec'd at any given time, every merc outfit i know is the same.


Except the difference is that they're a smattering of carebears and indy corps. I'll admit that Break-A-Wish is a pretty nasty customer, now multiply by 5, and that's what we're up against (although the marmites are of questionable ability). Of course we're going to adapt our tactics to survive. We'd be dumb not to. What do you expect? That we take out a bunch of battleships and line them up for you?

We do normally fight outnumbered, but the odds here have forced us to adapt, and that's all there is to it. We're not gonna take dumb fights.

Docking up in the face of adversity sure is a great way to prove your worth as a mercenary alliance!

I'm sorry, have you actually fought us? I don't recall fighting you. That makes me suspect you don't know what you're talking about.

Edit:

I do remember my corp pod killing 56 of your alliance mates however.

Ahhh, I see. *You* say it sucks, and I should take your word as gospel. Right, ok. I get it now.

Let me make something clear, I do not care what you think sucks or does not suck, especially after the pride parade of self-important butthurt highsec-mercs that marched through here. If you haven't gotten that by now, nobody can help you.


i didn't say it sucked, i said you were told it sucks. i know english is hard, but please try.

Can I hire you guys for suicide ganking? Minimum undocking is required, and you'll be in space only for a few seconds. I need more guinea pigs since galaxy pig went on leave.

Given your reputation, I won't offer any downpayment, but I'd be willing to provide the ships for free!

You are offline when I am online.

Only Kendrik is online and docked. You also decided to run far away as possible to avoid the wars.

Hilarious. Have never seen a thread, supposed to advertise which turned against the OP and the service advertised in that record span of time. Well, done OP, hats off, hell of a PR man.

Believe it or not, it's actually been great PR. Been getting lots of kudos from folks for standing up for ourselves in the face of overwhelming dickishness. Believe it or not, these guys are not very well liked (are you surprised?). The smack talk has been primarily coming from a single group of people who seem to think they are the bosses and final authority on everything in the game.

How many of them then offered you money to leverage force against somebody?

Impressive would have been ****-talking a bunch of established entities, getting wardecced, and then punishing them with good play despite being overall outnumbered. Smart would have been coming in modest and letting your accomplishments do most of the talking. Talking a big game and then hiding from the inevitable retaliation just makes you look like windbags.

There's nothing wrong with being a small name; everyone has to start somewhere and not everyone is looking to spend money on the big reputations, but if I want a budget mercenary service I'm not going to pick one that's busy hiding from other wardecs and has people actively interfering with their contracts out of spite


Also be sure to put "Killed 56 (fifty-six) Goon Pods during Burn Jita" at the top of your resume.

Why do you care so much about how many clients I'm getting? I mean, we're just starting out. We've had a few big contracts. We're going to have more. And yes, we've had a few offers since you idiots started your petty crusade against us. Turns out that going around and sticking your nose up at people doesn't really make you guys very popular.

This is a false assumption. I have not moved, except to head towards where my locator agent says you or one of your (MANY) alts are.


It must be super impressive to take out people with your alt logi, both on and off grid that you do not keep in your corp, and keeping tabs on people with alt scouts.

I have no alts, if you see me, that's all you get.

Making multiple make-believe friends to hang around with was something I stopped doing when I was six.

Now I roll around with my buddies looking for fights.

And don't mistake this, you are NOT Mr. T, princess.

Sure guys, if you really want someone dead and your willing to pay money to do it - don't hire the guys with scouting alts, booster alts and logistics alt, they're dishonourable scum!

Your far better spending your money on these guys, who have no alts and blunder around talking about the virtues of e-bushido, surely they're going to be a far better investment!

Amirite?

Neither nor I believe it or not, just found you managed it to jump on a probably helpful meant but strangly formulated advice like an insulted maniac. As said before - well done, never seen that before. The referral to "these guys" is interesting as I can barely figure whom you mean. If I am guessing right, you mean the guys who you "pi**ed of*" in record time. Just a little advice - risking that you are verbally jumping on me now hehe - back off a bit, let the dust settle and try what you intended to start with that thread again in a while^^.
